Chapter 148 - A Husband's Party Fights Against The Ghost Mouse!
It was a ghost mouse on its two.
The ghost was at least four meters tall, its sharp teeth protruding from its mouth were in a half size which was shocking. The mini boss had a transparent body and seemed ready to clash at any moment.
It's eyes narrowed, then long whiskers shook.
After this, the mouse launched its attack. Its feet stomped on the dark floors quickly, then a small foot quickly reached for Xiaoxiao's spear. Since she was the frontline of the husband's party, Xiaoxiao was naturally the first one to intercept the attack.
Surprised by its quickness and strength, Xiaoxiao exuded more flames to properly stabilize herself, then her spear slashed through. The mini boss just pounced back, then shook its head.
"You wounded it."
"Yes. I think he is tangible, so that we can beat him!"
"I don't think this is the reason, but we should just press forward then! Xiaoxiao, keep close contact with this monster. I will strike from the shadows.���
"Okay!"
As the mini boss truly proved to be tangible, Kyoya and Xiaoxiao began joining their techniques that slashed through its ghostly body without much problem. It was a strange feeling to see opened cuts without any blood whatsoever, but the party pressed forward.
The boss didn't just run around as it was strong and quick.
Xiaoxiao had to constantly be on the watch which was way harder than Kyoya's job who was building up energies to strike the enemy's weak points one by one. As the boss lost more than its 50% HP, the first change began.
"Be careful, Xiaoxiao!"
"..."
The lady narrowed her eyes and took defensive position with her spear ready to parry any impending assault. She focused on the ghost mouse's rush, then raised her spear! However, it was when the first change began.
The monster just passed through her, then lashed out its tail at Xiaoxiao's back! It was faster at the end as if every part of its strength went to the quickness. It was a surprise attack that severely wounded Xiaoxiao from behind.
And what was worse that it didn't stop.
Its whiskers shook yet again, then the close combat battle with the husband began!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the husband always played with two knives, he didn't really lose out against the mouse and its small paws. Both of them were fast enough to disappear from Xiaoxiao and the rest of the party's eyesights.
[You have used Deceive.]
After Kyoya disappeared from sight, he appeared behind while clad in the golden light! His powers struck the monster from behind with the unique divine energy, then loud howl reverberated through the first floor.
The ghost cried, then immediately turned intangible to escape far away from the husband. It also slashed its tail to leave a scorching trail on Kyoya's cheek.
"Damn it… How can we deal with this transparent body? What if it regenerates?"
The husband muttered while looking at the escaping ghost. He caused so deep a wound with his execution skill that there were greenish specks escaping from the ghost's body. It was fair for it to escape, but Kyoya naturally grumbled.
Then, Josef shouted.
"It's whiskers! When he shook these, he turned intangible and vice versa. You should just get rid of these while it attacks you!"
"Did you hear it, Xiaoxiao?"
"Yes, leave the front to me, Kyoya."
Xiaoxiao convincingly spoke, then used the eternal concept of her flames. This caused a small light to appear within the floor, but such state was at most available for a few minutes.
That was why Kyoya decided to just end it quickly. He and Xiaoxiao began trailing the mouse and its possible path, then at some point it leaped from the shadow to pull out a surprise attack!
"Not today!"
This was seen by Xiaoxiao whose flames immediately illuminated the area around them. Her flames cried out for her, then she illuminated more area as her spear thrust against the mouse.
In the meantime, Kyoya focused on the mouse's whiskers and completely took these out when Xiaoxiao and the mouse clashed on their full power!
Hhhhhhhhhhhh!
It shrieked when Kyoya did it, his eyes smiled in a response. After those whiskers got totally cut off from its body, the mini boss became like the green mouse that was exposed to any physical attacks.
If that was the case, then the husband took out his heart card set.
"You won't run away now."
Petrified by this loss, the green mouse could only howl at the two adventurers. Its tail then got elongated to intercept both cards and the two strong friends. In such peak form, the ghost managed to make both Xiaoxiao and Kyoya sweat, but their win was set the moment the ghost lost its transparent body.
[You have killed the mini boss from the first floor.]
[You can go to the second floor.]
Ding!
[Death God's divine energy resonates within your body. You can get 200 stats of agility, 100 stats of strength and 50 stamina stats from this mini boss. You can also distribute those between your party.]
Kyoya got a sudden message, but it was the best message he possibly could get. Not even giving it a second thought, Kyoya chose the option to share stats with his friends who instantly realized that there were some changes within their bodies.
Those changes were perfectly fine as the dungeons and other treasures given by the gods were like trials for every believer. Those didn't even clash with the belief and one could be proud of conquering those.
That was why everyone from Kyoya's party realized that it was the golden mine to their strength! Even Maria, who was still under the effect of the floor's influence, smiled and hugged her boyfriend with happiness that made her look like she already lost her fear.
As the party got rid of the first mini boss, Kyoya issued the small break where everyone got properly healed by Xaya. She didn't even voice her opinion about it, but moved on her own which was heartwarming for Kyoya.
He smiled and hugged her tightly after.
"Husband, I think I will be able to use another skill soon."
"That's great. I can't wait to see my wife having fun on the battlefield."
"Mmm."
All lovey dovey, the couple and party rested before conquering up another floor!
